Some English reading assignments aren't that fhinking of better things to do, Julie Collins' mind wanders. had finds Dean Smnh. 4 id 'Jim L235 EQNHAIDJ Bicycling, photography and play- ing softball are a few of the things that take Mr. Gene Conrad in differ- ent directions. According to Mr. Conrad bicy- cling is a beautiful way to travel and meet new people and see parts of the country. During the month of November alone, he put two hun- dred and forty miles behind him. Photography is a hobby that comes in handy when Mr, Conrad advises the Lance staff. During the spring and summer Mr. Conrad can be found with a glove on one hand and a softball in the other, prepared to play on his soft- ball team. He says softball is a very satisfying sport. Just hitting or catching the ball leaves an extraor- dinary feeling. Besides photography Mr. Conrad enjoys woodworking. He started out four years ago when he made two clocks. He then decided to make a bookcase. His next project was a chest of drawers for his living room. Mr. Conrad added that Mr. Vande- car is usually around to help him if runs into problems.
